TIFF 2013: IMAX Brought Moguls, Metallica and Classics to Life at TIFF

By IMAX on September 19, 2013

As the curtains close on the 38th annual Toronto International Film Festival, we are excited to highlight some of our favorite moments of this year’s festival.

We kicked off our presence at TIFF with the Mogul’s Panel featuring IMAX’s head honcho Rich Gelfond and entertainment guru Greg Foster to discuss IMAX’s position on the globalization of the cinema industry. IMAX leaders spoke candidly about the challenges that are faced when doing business globally and the rapid growth of IMAX in international markets.

Rich shared with audiences one of the key ways to conduct business internationally, "Make it a win-win situation. Don't be a colonialist going in, teaching people how to do things your way."

Metallica bandmembers, director Anton Nimrod, producer Charlotte Huggins and Dane Dehaan welcomed fans to the world premiere of Metallica Through the Never this year at TIFF. Drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield welcomed guests questions immediately after the rocking out to the new film. Check out the full Q&A here.

Fans waited for hours to see their favorite rock band come to life in IMAX 3D. See what fans had to say about Metallica Through the Never.
